Publisher Description
From one of today’s hottest novelists and author of the bestselling The Middlesteins—a provocative story about friendship and self-discovery
Catherine Madison left her small town in Nebraska after her husband deserted her. She’s also left behind her most shameful secrets—of a family and a marriage that have plagued her with self-doubt. On the road, she’s trying to become a new person. But running away from the past isn’t as easy as she’d hoped. Her journey leads her to Las Vegas, where she forms surprising new friendships that compel her to reveal what she’d sworn she’d keep hidden, and teach her what human connection really means.

“Attenberg’s narrative voice—a lean, straight-ahead, deadpan tone that cuts cleanly through Catherine’s hypocrisy and self-pity like a laser-guided strike—makes The Melting Season singular and disquieting.”
